Abstract
In this study, 198 patients with low-grade gliomas (LGGs) undergoing primary resection were evaluated for seizure status at 24months after primary resection with the Engel classification of seizures, and 120 patients had good seizure control (class I) while 78 patients had poor seizure control (class II-IV). Multivariate analysis showed that cortex involvement, subtotal resection, serum IL-6 concentration, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were associated with poor seizure control. The area under curve (AUC) of serum IL-6 concentration, NLR and their combination applied in predicting poor seizure control was 0.756, 0.714, and 0.857, respectively. The AUC of combination prediction was significantly higher than those of individual prediction. Therefore, elevated serum IL-6 concentration was associated with poor seizure control in LLG patients undergoing primary resection and could be applied in predicting seizure control, and the predictive value could be elevated through adding other serum indices to IL-6.
